Well, this is a first for me. I'm not sure how all the blog etiquette works and whether convincing someone to change their minds on some political issues equals "blog mother", but, since Donal gives me credit for some of his changes in thinking, I wanted to make sure everyone took the time and go look at his blog, Ex-Liberal.
Let me say a few words about Donal. First, even during the most heated discussions about politics last year in the lead up to the elections, Donal has always been very reasonable. And, while he gave me credit in a post for changing his way of thinking on some issues, I can honestly say that he was equally able in influencing my ideas and thoughts on other issues.
In the blog world, where we pride ourselves on open communication and exchanging ideas, I have to say that our exchanges have always represented the best of this concept.
I can tell you that there are many people from left, center and right that I have enjoyed conversing with here and on other blogs. It has given me a respect for people's opinions far and above that which I would have enjoyed had we all just stuck to talking amongst ourselves.
In closing, I want to say, "Welcome to the Blog, Donal, good luck and good writing!"
